In the heart of Africa lies a land where the wild roams free, where the call of the savannah beckons the intrepid traveler, and where each sunrise brings the promise of discovery. Welcome to Kenya, a country teeming with life, where the landscapes are as diverse as the wildlife they harbor. For those who seek an adventure that captures the very essence of this magnificent land, Campo Frio Safaris presents the “Wild Wing Safari”—a 10-day journey that will take you deep into Kenya’s most iconic reserves, offering encounters with nature that will leave you breathless.
A Grand Beginning in Nairobi
Your journey begins in the vibrant city of Nairobi, where modernity meets the wild. After landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you’ll be whisked away to the luxurious Nairobi Serena Hotel, an oasis of calm in the bustling city. Here, you’ll indulge in a delightful lunch before visiting the renowned Giraffe Centre, where you can come face-to-face with these gentle giants and even feed them by hand—a perfect introduction to Kenya’s rich wildlife.
Into the Untamed Wilderness of Meru National Park
The next morning, the adventure truly begins as you fly to Meru National Park, one of Kenya’s lesser-known but most enchanting reserves. This remote park is a paradise of unspoiled wilderness, where rivers meander through lush forests and open plains stretch to the horizon. Your base here is Elsa’s Kopje, a lodge named after the famous lioness Elsa from the book and film “Born Free.” For the next two days, you’ll explore Meru’s rugged terrain on morning and afternoon game drives, spotting elephants, rhinos, and perhaps even the elusive leopard. As the sun sets, you’ll return to the comfort of Elsa’s Kopje, where the sounds of the wild will lull you to sleep.
The Splendor of Samburu
From Meru, your journey continues north to the rugged landscapes of Samburu National Reserve. This arid region, with its dramatic scenery and unique wildlife, offers a stark contrast to the lushness of Meru. At Saruni Samburu, your home for the next two nights, you’ll be treated to stunning views over the reserve, as well as the warm hospitality of the local Samburu people. Game drives in Samburu are an exhilarating experience, offering the chance to see species that are found nowhere else in Kenya, such as the reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, and the long-necked gerenuk.
The Magic of the Masai Mara
No Kenyan safari would be complete without a visit to the Masai Mara, and the Wild Wing Safari ensures you experience this iconic reserve in style. A flight will take you to the Masai Mara, where you’ll be transported back in time at Cottars 1920s Camp. This award-winning camp combines the elegance of a bygone era with modern luxury, offering a safari experience that is both authentic and comfortable. Over the next three days, you’ll embark on game drives that traverse the Mara’s rolling plains, where lions, cheetahs, and the great wildebeest migration await. The thrill of spotting a pride of lions in the golden morning light or witnessing a dramatic river crossing during the migration is an experience you’ll treasure forever.
A Farewell to the Wild
As your journey comes to an end, there’s one final chance to soak in the beauty of Kenya with a morning game drive in the Masai Mara. After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the airstrip for your flight back to Nairobi, where you’ll connect to your onward journey. As you leave Kenya behind, you’ll carry with you memories of a land where nature’s wonders unfold at every turn, where each day brings new adventures, and where the spirit of the wild is always close at hand.
